So you will want to split up the writes into multiple writes to keep
memory allocation down. Perhaps 1GB at a time, given what you describe
below. Still a lot easier than doing the conversion by hand!

Memory will be allocated, but only enough to convert data for each
nc_put_vara call. So if you are writing 1 MB of values at a time, it
will allocated 1 MB at a time to convert, and free that 1 MB after the
write operation is complete.
So it doesn't matter how large your variables are, only how much you
try
and write at one time.
Thanks,
